Title: Are There Any Pillion Back Rests Made for Stelvio ?
Post by: Bonaventure on April 19, 2018, 12:55:50 PM
No offense to top case owners but I don't usually like the way the look, but I also realize they double as a pretty good back rest for your passenger.  So I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of a bolt-on back rest for the Stelvio?  Quick install and removal would be ideal, but is probably unlikely.

The price of a Corbin seat is pretty high, so the two hundred and something dollar backrest is a bit of a bitter pill. If you wish to save a little coin and you own (or intend to own) a Corbin seat, Harrison Specialties offers a clone for about sixty bucks.

Cavalry also offers a similar copy for a couple dollars more...available on Amazon:

Fay's Stelvio backrest is on the Givi top box that I installed.

To be honest, though, the pad itself doesn't really do anything, because when she leans back, she's actually leaning against her back armor, which is pretty supportive.   Thinking about unbolting it to give her another inch or two of space ....

My spouse’s complaint about the backrest on my Givi E460 was that it was too high and didn’t feel very secure. I’m seriously thinking of getting a Corbin seat for my Vintage just so I can add an adjustable backrest.

Dog gone it though, I really like the factory seat on my Stilt.  Hate to have to ditch it to gain a back rest.  Humm...  Might be the only option though.
